Infinite loop in "When receiving focus"

[CRDF]

Hi.
Trying to set a control’s default value via code.
Attached it to Event “When receiving focus”.
Problem is: code enters infinite loop as if control

• receives focus
• sets the .Text = default value
• receives focus;
• sets the .Text = default value;
• […]

Need to kill Base!
Is this the normal behavior for this event?
Thanks in advance.

Don’t know, what “OK” should stay for, but:
If you have added a messagebox to the event “When receving focus” following will happen:

1. Recived focus for control.
2. Messagebox appears and get the cursor.
3. Messagebox has been closed and control recives focus…

So you will get a loop. You could break this by a global variable. If it isn’t set messagebox appears and variable should be set. So next time messagebox won’t appear.
